Item1562: redirect failure OK button goes to wrong place

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Engine

we get it right in the wordage, but then make a mess of the OK button

Access check on Main.WebHome failed. Action "redirect": unsafe redirect to http://t42p/Sandbox/YuiMenu: host does not match {DefaultUrlHost} , and is not in {PermittedRedirectHostUrls}"http://localhost/".

Can you describe how to reproduce this?

yup - looking at it now use a url (host) different from what is configured as the default / permitted, and save a change - you will get the unsafe redirect message, and the 'OK' points to webhome.

specifically, its because for the unsafe redirect, we're re-using the 'access denied' tmpl - where we should really use something a little smarter (ie, the correct DefaultUrl/resuestedweb/topic..

Several issues:

• Foswiki.pm redirect uses $session->{web} and {topic} when the actual values are webName and topicName
• As Sven mentions, needs a template with a more relevant [ok] button
• Rename.pm needs to reset the $session->{webName} and {topicName} to the new web/topic so that if the redirect fails, the ok button has a topic to return to.

You forgot to add the new file to the MANIFEST. I have fixed it.
